Granted, Windows-only right now, but I did gutcheck_u [Unicode version of
gutcheck], and now I am sending Al a gutspell_u [ask me if anyone else
wants it.]
I don't think it's hard to get you better tools if you ask for them on this
forum.
Just don't say for example "it's got to work exactly like gutcheck except on
Unicode" - because that description is an oxymoron. Firstly it's hard to
track down and exactly duplicate all the bugs that are already in there, and
secondly, the checks one would want on a Unicode file are not identical to
the checks one would want on an ASCII file.
